Is Brie the only French cheese you know? Then this tour is almost mandatory for you! After 3 cheese shops, 4 little picnics and 8-10 cheeses, you will understand how to pick the perfect cheese.
On this 2.5-hour walking tour, I’ll show you how to navigate a French cheese counter like a local and, most importantly, discover what you actually like to eat. This walking tour between Notre Dame and the Marais is a great intro to French lifestyle.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Place Louis Aragon is a lovely little square just behind Notre-Dame. We'll meet on one of the green benches. I'll be carrying a baguette, so you'll know it's me! For the metro, you can easily get there via Cité (Line 4), Maubert–Mutualité (Line 10) or Saint-Paul (Line 1).
What to expect
But this tour is also a wild journey through the regions of France: from Burgundy and Provence to the Loire Valley, Auvergne, Savoie and Occitanie. We’ll try them all: soft, goat cheeses, stinky, hard or blue cheeses.
We will have picnic on a bridge on Île Saint-Louis overlooking the Seine, in a lush tropical garden, in a magnificent Renaissance palace and at the beautiful Place des Vosges, in winter our last picnic is indoors.
After this tour you will have discovered a very French side of Paris that most visitors never see. Welcome to France, a country with 2000 cheeses!
Out of office with Sophie, is a small boutique tour operator founded by Sophie. She is deeply convinced that you can understand France better, when you understand cheese! What is also special about Sophie: Sophie has her own podcast and brings these encounters, anecdotes and behind-the-scenes insights straight on the tour with you!
